Great shot, lovely composition doing the quirky thing and looking out of the frame. Excellent use of DOF to get us to focus on the little guy's eyes. :)

Chilling? No.... creepy LOL The focus on the fly's eyes is simply incredible. Colours, composition, DOF & focus control are dead on. You really nailed this shot.

Great shot of a fly, you kept enough of it in focus for great detail. Great colors, too.

As weird as this may sound, you make me want to chase flies.

Great shot. I wouldn't have thought that a fly could look so beautiful.

Love the colors!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

WOW!!! That is a very close shot of the fly, such great lighting, great centering, great focus, great coloring. All around great picture!!!! That could be in a nature magazine, you have even managed to capture the beads of water on the leaves, which is all around amazing!

Stunning! beautiful colors and composition.

Love the contrast you've created with the 'colour wash' background versus the pin sharp bug thing. Not normally a fan of bug shots, but like this one 8
